Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Belgian Stallions by John Steuart Curry was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in December 2004. It achieved a price of USD 71,700.00 (€ 52,962.03), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Steuart Curry - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Preliminary Study for a Mural: Oklahoma Land Rush, which sold at auction in May 2003 for USD 175,500.00 (€ 149,158.59).
